Sorry all, but after a lot of soul searching, I am not going to be coming back for the new season...

Please see below and sorry for the long read!

Me and my little yellow laptop will be at the @DE77Testimonial tomorrow for one last blast.

[482 Days @482days]

Thanks to those who bid. I am delighted that we have added £60 to the total for @kirstysallstars charity game!

[482 Days @482days]

I just won 2 tickets for the @TeamGBicehockey Olympic qualifier against Romania on Thursday 6th Feb 7:30pm at Nottingham Arena. I can't go but will give the tickets to the highest bidder with money to be paid to the @kirstysallstars fund benefitting @macmillancancer and @CR_UK

[482 Days @482days]

Current bid stands at £60

I should have said to either reply below or send me a DM with any bids.

[482 Days @482days]

Well that seems to have got the ball rolling. We've had 3 bids in now with the current top bid standing at £60

[482 Days @482days]

Nobody wants these? You dont need to bid a lot of money, anything extra for the charities involved would be good!

Anyone after a hockey fix this afternoon come down to Oxpens Road for a charity game to support @OxfordCityStars and @GBWomensHockey physio Kirsty Hopgood. Should be a great game and definitely a great cause.

@carrsy2 Oops. Meant to post that from my personal twitter...

Just a last note to say - I might start actually tweeting occasionally from my personal twitter (@nancyb75) in case anyone feels like saying 'hi' on there!

[482 Days @482days]

Awwwww. Love you too xxx

[Richard Carpenter @Carpohockey]

So proud of @nancyb75 for everything that she achieved for @482days. Changed twitter and social media in the NIHL forever! Love you more than anything

It all began at Oxpens Road...

I started playing here 26 years ago, first got involved with the ENL/NIHL here 11 years ago and of course 482days began here 4 years ago.

So it feels fitting that it ends here (at least for now)

It’s been a blast

Night all.

Last thanks go to everyone online who has RT'd, joined in the banter or just followed along. We said it every week, but it really did mean a lot and without you lot, what I was doing would have been kind of pointless.

[482 Days @482days]

Thanks to everyone who ever entered #piamg and especially my regulars who entered every week. I genuinely never expected the competition to get that big - and some of you took it WAY too seriously... But it was good fun.

[482 Days @482days]

A special thanks to @carrsy2 who was incredibly helpful with photos and contacts when I first started and then later kept me up to date with what I had been up to each weekend. I always enjoyed finding out!

[482 Days @482days]

Some of my favourite moments have come from covering our U20 and Womens' national teams.

Big thanks to @lovehokej for giving us our first international press accreditation and to @TeamGBicehockey for giving us access and exposure.

[482 Days @482days]

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed a piece for the website, either as a one-off or as part of our 10by10 season previews.

And especial thanks to @LTIceHockeyNerd and @McDermott_Sport who became my NIHL2 correspondents, writing regularly (and better than me).

[482 Days @482days]

Next - to all the team staff, players and coaches around the league.
Firstly, thanks for all the work you put in to give em something to tweet about! I know first hand just how much it takes!
Secondly, thanks for taking the time to talk to me online and IRL - it mattered a lot.

[482 Days @482days]

First I would like to thanks @oxford_77, @Simonhockey45 and the @OxfordCityStars team from 4 years ago for getting behind me in the early days - giving me loads of interviews and access to get me started.

The 6-4 home win against Chelmo that season is also one of my highlights!
